Silly me! In my 2018 quest to eat a vegan donut, I had somehow forgotten there is a Do-Rite Donuts (somewhat) near my office that I could pick one up from, if I took the time to walk there! WHUT?! Kim, you so sil. I know.
So on Tuesday, I swung by on my lunch walk to see if they had any vegan donuts left. Nope. Okay, got it. Go earlier in the day.
The next day, I lengthened my walk to work to stop by, and they had three vegan donuts to choose from. Horray! I went with Chai Maple and it did NOT disappoint.
The vegan flavors were in the top left shelf. They have gluten free donuts too (in the cabinet on the counter).
What a treat!
I now feel better about how I accomplished my main goal for the year. It was purposeful and planned, and I did not rely on someone else (like I did when my snister took me to a vegan bakery in Kansas).
And I’m ready to expand on this goal for the rest of the calendar year, and make it my 2018 Vegan Donut Tour! Let’s see how many states I can eat a vegan donut in.
So far I’ve done:
| State | Date | Name | Flavor | Rating (1-4) | Photo |
| Kansas | 1/15/18 | Mud Pie | Cake Chocolate Frosted |  |
 |
| Illinois | 2/7/18 | Do-Rite | Chai Maple |  |
 |
Potential states include: Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, Ohio, and California (we’re really hoping to get out there this year). Now, I just have to make sure I plan my travel around finding a vegan donut, ha!
Nicely done! Although I have to say, Heidi’s goal was to out-vegan donut you, so I guess I need to take her to a second place too. TWIST MY ARM.
Darn!!! 😉 Poor Heidi!
Congratulations on achieving your goal! I’m proud of you.
Thank you!!!!
Ooh… maple chai sounds amazing!
I really like the pairing of flavors!
I love this so much.
Thank you!
The chocolate frosted looks amazing!
It was decent! It tasted like cake with frosting on it (which is good, but not very donut-y)!
It’s like, embarrassing how invested I am in your vegan donut goalz. Haha. I didn’t know Do Rite sold vegan (or GF, for that matter) donuts! I’m glad you were able to successfully achieve your goal for real this time, and I look forward to future updates 🙂
Nah, I am happy you are!!! Thank you for following along, and please share your donut eating habits with me as well!!!
Or do one a month as well :p
It’s probably important I eat at least ONE donut a month, right?!
Yay! I’m glad you got your donut (again!) Is Do-rite a Chicago chain? I don’t think I’ve heard of it out here.
Me tooooooooooooo! It is. It looks like they have three locations.
